Venture capitalists' tour of Israeli start-ups postponed

LONDON -- An invitation-only tour to Israel being organized to allow about 60 venture capitalists, corporate advisors, and bankers to visit about 20 start-ups has been postponed.

One reason given for the postponement is the geopolitical situation in the region, although the organizer also said: "Israel remains a tremendous investment opportunity and a leading region for growth in the technology sector."

The organizer, the Switzerland-based European Tech Tours Association said the Israeli tour, previously scheduled for November 10 to 12, would be rescheduled.
